Notes from the collection

Houses we can host, places we have walked. Not a magazine of hotels we do not operate.

Kilifi

Home water: Kilifi

The creek is not a backdrop. It is the reason the houses face the way they do.

Zanzibar

Stone Town evenings

Zanzibar is walked. The house is a courtyard and a roof, and the island is the rest of the rooms.

Maasai Mara

Mara, then the coast

Three nights of grassland, then the Indian Ocean. The pairing is older than the itinerary form.

Bwindi

Mist, and the permit

Bwindi and the Virunga cones are not safari in the grassland sense. They are steep, timed, and precise.
